God can use waiting times for His glory and our good if we will allow Him. I have been learning that waiting times are and should be used as praying times, preparing times, and a time of trust and growth.
Waiting times should be preparing times. While we wait, God can use it to prepare us and grow us for what He has next in our lives. If we use it wisely and are open to learning what He wants to teach us during this season, we can one day look back on it with much growth and blessings.
Waiting times should also be praying times. This is another way to prepare and is one way that prepares us best. We should be praying about our desires for the future, casting all our anxieties at His feet and bringing to Him everything specifically.
Lastly, waiting times are times of trust. It is a time God can grow our faith in who He is and the promises of His Word.
Waiting times should not just simply be idle times of waiting for what we hope is next; waiting should be productive times used for God's glory. May we pursue active waiting as we trust God with our future and pray and prepare!
